Michael at is desk for Kindergarten. He loved his first day. I asked him who he made friends with and he said (kind of exasperated like it should be obvious) "Everyone!" No surprise there, Michael makes life a party wherever he goes. His teacher is a newbie, this is her first year teaching. She seems really nice and had a bunch of cute things from pinterest that she made for the kids. Crossing my fingers for a great year with a sweet teacher to nurture Michael.
Blasted tendonitis. I was reading on my side, supporting my head with my hand and apparently doing that for 2+ hours is not a good idea. It got really stiff and then with all of the lifting and twisting my wrist does it just got worse and worse until turning the steering wheel while driving was hurting. So now I am wearing a brace and it really helps me not torque my wrist all the time and give it a rest. It's not a big deal, just annoying.
We took a beach trip yesterday! Katy and I haven't been yet this summer and it was a wonderful day. We had some great friends join us- Katrina, Bob, Riley and Kiersten(4 months old like Katy) and Robin, Mike, Weston, Dallin and Levi. The kids were all SO excited!
Mike and Nicole boogie boarding while Jim is holding Diana. I'm with Katy and watching Jake. Jim and I were trading off constantly so we could have time with the different kids. A favorite part of the day for me was when I got to boogie board with Michael. I'd ask him which waves we should take, give him tips and cheer him on as we rode waves together. He is really a tough kid. A few waves totally got him, but he kept going. He is getting pretty good, and we caught some fun waves together, a couple really good ones.
On the drive home the kids made up some games and played. This towel was given to us by their Uncle Brandon on a visit from England of the transportation system there. The kids had so much fun with destinations and making up stuff about London.
Katy is four months old now. She weighs 12lbs4oz (13th%), and is 25in tall (67th%). She flips over, grabs for stuff and gives lots of love and snuggles to her family. She sleeps and eats like a champ and is doing everything in her power to be chasing after her big sister soon. The dr commented on how strong she is. It won't be long :)
Mike got Kid Knex for his birthday and this will go down in history as one of the best presents we've given a kid.
